Pall Ultipleat® filters with Profile® depth filter media are 2-1/2 inch diameter pleated polypropylene cartridges. The absolute rated filter medium is constructed using Pall's proprietary method of varying fiber diameter continuously to create a tapered pore filter medium.

As a result of this unique medium construction and a proprietary crescent-shaped pleat structure, the pressure drop of Ultipleat filters with Profile depth filter media is as low as half that of higher area pleated filters and as low as one-fifteenth that of conventional depth filters. Consequently, Ultipleat filters with Profile depth filter media provide exceptional service life. The Ultipleat filter with Profile depth filter media is thicker than that found in a conventional pleated filter and is optimized for gel removal and sharp, distinct particle removal. This makes the elements ideal for viscous fluids and dispersions in addition to those many applications where long service life is desired.

For P and W options, the filters are constructed entirely of FDA-listed materials and the absolute rating of the filter is based upon the widely accepted modified Oklahoma State University (OSU) F-2 Filter Performance (Beta Rating) Test.
